| Seasonal flu vaccines increase risk of pandemic H1N1 flu, stunned scientists discover Posted: 08 Apr 2010 12:00 AM PDT  I remember the H1N1 "swine flu" season of 2009 very well. People were rushing out to get vaccinated, scared half to death by the mainstream media which was pushing false reports that the swine flu would kill tens of millions of people and that only a vaccine could save you. The CDC and health authorities were pushing a double-barreled vaccine strategy that demanded people get both a seasonal flu shot as well as an H1N1 pandemic flu shot. Those who questioned the sensibility of vaccines for fighting the flu were attacked as "baby killers" for not kow-towing to the vaccine mythology that drives Big Pharma's profits to record profits nearly every flu season.  |
| New hope for MS patients from UV light from the sun (beyond vitamin D) Posted: 08 Apr 2010 12:00 AM PDT It's not a new idea that multiple sclerosis (MS) is somehow tied to sunlight -- or, rather, the lack of adequate exposure to sunlight. For more than three decades, researchers have noted that MS is much more common in higher latitudes than in the tropics. So, because bright sunlight is more abundant near the equator and sunlight exposure results in the body producing vitamin D, some scientists have reasoned that increased vitamin D levels may lower the risk of MS.  |

| Failure of Attempts to Discredit the Goldstone Report and its Authors Posted: 07 Apr 2010 11:21 PM PDT There has been a prolonged and concerted campaign to discredit anyone who is brave enough to speak out against the Zionist policies of Israel. The list of academics, lawyers, activists, politicians and private citizens who have been lambasted by Zionists for daring to speak out against Israel is absurdly long and is growing every day. It is becoming almost comical how one can predict the tag of "anti-Semite" being flung at anyone who dares even raise a minor point of concern over Israel's growing list of human rights abuses and breaches of international law.

| Israeli Threat over Palestinian State Posted: 07 Apr 2010 10:56 PM PDT  Israel threatened yesterday to annex more occupied territory in the West Bank if the Palestinians make a unilateral declaration of statehood. Avigdor Lieberman, the Israeli foreign minister, said Israel could annul past agreements with the Palestine Liberation Organisation if the plan to declare statehood by August 2011 were carried through. Mr Lieberman said Israel would respond with unilateral measures of its own, including annexing areas of occupied territory in addition to East Jerusalem, which it has already annexed.  |

| On Name-Stealing and Misplaced Catholic Anger Posted: 07 Apr 2010 10:00 PM PDT  New York. In the forty-five years I spent going to Annabel's I never once heard anyone say "let's go to Birley's." It was Annabel's or Harry's, or Mark's, but never Birley's. Now I read that Richard Caring, the man who bought Mark Birley's joints, is trying to stop Robin Birley, Mark's only son, from using his own name for the new club he's planning in Mayfair. Admittedly I'm a friend of Robin's, and have never met Caring, but surely one has the rights to one's own name. Caring says that he's bound to honor his agreement with Mark Birley and uphold the standards Mark set in his clubs. Well, this is as much of a joke as trying to stop Robin using his own name. I have not set foot at Annabel's since it was sold, but friends tell me the place now resembles a bad Baghdad nightclub without the threat of IED's. George's, where I still go, is overcrowded and the clientele is, for lack of a better word, awful and very downmarket rich. Harry's Bar apparently is still holding the line because of Lucianno, the maitre'd who runs it, but any resemblance between the way things were under Birley and the present are purely based on the address of the premises.  |
| Jimmy Kimmel, Secret Savior of Late Night Posted: 07 Apr 2010 10:00 PM PDT  Meet Jimmy Kimmel. He's nicer than caustic old Letterman, livelier than wooden Leno, cooler than still-stuttering Fallon, and a touch less goofy than Conan. Kimmel calculatingly uses his slackerish appeal to expertly get A-listers—and himself—in on the joke. His comedy has elevated self-deprecation to an art form. The Jimmy Kimmel Live! host has crossed the line from talk-show lug—one who viewers merely tolerate—to a guy they'd want to have a beer with after the wrap. And because he's so refreshingly normal in an all-hype, over-indulgent medium, even celebrities can't help but appreciate his charming lack of nonsense.

| Sexual Liberation & Racial Suicide Posted: 07 Apr 2010 09:00 PM PDT
What is "sexual liberation"? It is usually spoken of by way of contrast with the constraints of marriage and family life. It would seem to be a condition under which people have more choice than under the traditional system of monogamy. Hugh Hefner's "Playboy philosophy" seemed to offer men more choices than just sleeping with the same woman every night for fifty years. Feminism promised women it would liberate them from "domestic drudgery" and turn marriage and motherhood into just one among many lifestyle choices.  |

| Women, Minorities and Academia Posted: 07 Apr 2010 07:27 PM PDT  I recall that someone—perhaps it was William F. Buckley—said that you can't have both affirmative action and nuclear power. His point, of course, is obvious: merit of the highest order is necessary to invent, build and maintain a highly complex system like America's nuclear power industry. To the extent standards are bent or diluted in favor of political goals such as increasing the number of minorities and women—though they be less qualified—a cost will be paid in efficiency, reliability, and potentially safety.  |

| Posted: 07 Apr 2010 04:43 PM PDT  Protests have been growing against Kurmanbek Bakiyev's government for weeks, but the speed with which the situation in Kyrgyzstan descended into violence and chaos Wednesday surprised even dedicated Central Asia watchers. Events are still unfolding, and it's far from clear who will emerge the winner in the power struggle in Bishkek. But it's not too soon to ask whether warning signs of today's events should have been seen in advance, whether Western countries could have done anything to prevent today's bloodshed, and how to prevent another repressive government from taking place, as after 2005's "Tulip Revolution."  |

| Violence in Video Games and the Baghdad Massacre Posted: 07 Apr 2010 03:05 PM PDT  "Violence in Video Games" was produced to demonstrate the close similarities between real-world violence and simulated violence included in video games. The video juxtapositions scenes captured in the real-world and those that exist in the fantasy game world depicted in the Call of Duty series. Shooting dogs, beating children and murdering innocent civilians are dwarfed by the amount of unmitigated evil game developers are having their heroes portray.  |

| Posted: 07 Apr 2010 02:32 PM PDT  A major showdown is under way at the World Bank over a coal-fired power plant under construction in South Africa, which if approved would be the largest and dirtiest investment project the bank has ever financed. The fight pits big developing-world governments and economic development advocates, who argue that the plant is essential to growth and poverty reduction, against those worried about climate change, who contend that the bank should not support carbon-spewing power.  |
| Posted: 07 Apr 2010 02:03 PM PDT  The battle for Marja in southern Afghanistan and the coming campaign in Kandahar are important, but victory on these battlefields will not win the war, though they will help set the conditions for success. It will take a comprehensive, holistic effort to bring stability to Afghanistan. Drawing on our experience as institution builders, and after spending six months on the ground in Afghanistan, we would like to offer a different way to think about diagnosing this country's ills -- and finding the appropriate cures. In the course of our duties, we have helped build the Afghan army, police, air corps, educational institutions, military hospitals, logistics, and the bureaucracies of defense and interior. Rather than describing Afghanistan with the language of war and battles, we have come to think of the country as an ailing patient -- in many ways analogous to a weakened person under attack by an aggressive infection.  |
| Posted: 07 Apr 2010 02:01 PM PDT  The lesson of the Cold War is that all those complex negotiations and treaties are not by themselves agents of change, but the result of much deeper, underlying forces and the actions of people. Sure, a treaty is vital to lock in decisions and prevent cheating. But of far greater importance are the reasons that brought the two sides to the table in the first place: economics, politics, technology, and military power, as well as the role of leaders such as U.S. President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. The most effective nuclear arms-control measure of all time was not a treaty, but rather the demise of the Soviet Union and the superpower competition along with it. What caused it? A dysfunctional economic and political system imploded.  |
| Happy Birthday to Burma's Military Posted: 07 Apr 2010 01:40 PM PDT  To mark the 65th anniversary of Burma's military last week, the country's leader, Senior Gen. Than Shwe, made a rare public appearance, presiding over a grand Armed Forces Day parade through the streets of Naypyidaw, the country's lavish, newly constructed capital city. Thousands of troops marched in formation past fountains as the ruling general saluted and promised the select crowd that the coming elections would be free and fair. There was much to celebrate as far as the Burmese military is concerned. The junta is confident in its hold on political power, monopoly over the economy, and near-complete neutralization of domestic opponents. The ideal conditions are in place to give the military junta its best-ever birthday present: continuing dominance over a future civilian parliament and continuing control of Burma's 58 million people after the country's elections, promised to take place this year. Everything the ruling junta, formally known as the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC), has been planning is methodically coming to fruition. The system it dubbed "disciplined democracy" is living up to its Orwellian name. And it shows no sign of changing.  |
| Posted: 07 Apr 2010 01:17 PM PDT Stephen Walt has once again raised the issue of dual loyalty of American Jews — this time in the context of the role of Dennis Ross in shaping Obama Administration policy in the direction of Israel. As I have argued previously, I think that Walt (and Mearsheimer) tend to underestimate the problem of Jewish dual loyalty. It's often been said of Jews that they are just like everyone else, only more so. In the case of dual loyalty, it's certainly true that other people have various loyalties, but no other group has had such a passionate attachment to a foreign country. As The Israel Lobby shows, the American Jewish community is galvanized around doing the bidding of a foreign government. Dissent within the Jewish community has been effectively silenced, and the most energized, radical elements of the Jewish community determine the direction of the entire community.  |
| Murdoch Says "People Will Start Paying" for His Newsites "When They Have Nowhere Else to Go" Posted: 07 Apr 2010 12:52 PM PDT  Mr Murdoch, in an interview with journalist Marvin Kalb for The Kalb Report on Tuesday, also said he believed most US newspapers would eventually end up charging readers online, like he does with The Wall Street Journal and plans to do with his other properties beginning with The Times of London. "You'll find, I think, most newspapers in this country are going to be putting up a pay wall," he said. "Now how high does it go, does it allow (visitors) to have the first couple paragraphs or certain feature articles, we'll see.  |
| Deadly Riots in Kyrgyzstan: Coming to America Soon Posted: 07 Apr 2010 11:37 AM PDT  Riots against the corrupt government in Kyrgyzstan have resulted in more than a hundred dead people. In Bishkek, the nation's capitol, thousands of protesters stormed the main government building, set fire to the prosecutor's office and looted state TV headquarters. Government officials were seriously beaten and reported killed. "Demonstrators furious over government corruption and a recent hike in power prices looted the state television and radio building and were marching toward the Interior Ministry," reports MSNBC. "Elite police opened fire to drive crowds back from government headquarters."  |

| Former Fed Mob Boss Calls for VAT and Carbon Taxes Posted: 07 Apr 2010 07:44 AM PDT  One thing is certain. If Obama and his "economic advisers" have their way, you will be paying significantly higher taxes directly to the banksters. Since payroll taxes are already egregiously high, the preferred method is either a sales tax or a so-called value added tax, also known as VAT. Glenn Beck is a fan of this form of government fleecing while his "conservative" counterpart Bill O'Reilly prefers a straight sales tax to pay down the national debt. In steps Paul Volcker, the former Fed mob boss who now runs Obama's Economic Recovery Advisory Board. Volcker said yesterday the United States should consider imposing a European-styled VAT in order to get the deficit "under control," as Fox News put it.  |
